Today on @MeetThePress, President Donald Trump told @kwelkernbc that he spoke with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday night, hours before the senator died. President Trump said that “other than being tired, he was fine,” adding that he believed Graham’s death was a “quick end, and maybe that’s not the worst way to go.”

Senator Lindsey Graham was scheduled to appear on @MeetThePress this morning.

It would have been his 64th appearance on this broadcast.

We are sending our deepest condolences to his family and colleagues.

WATCH: In an interview on #MTPNOW, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) calls Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner a "bona fide dirtbag."

@SenFettermanPA: "The only good thing you could say about him is he happens to have a D after the end of his name. ... And he's actually not even a Democrat. He's a communist."

Thank you, @VanityFair, for the opportunity to discuss my recent interview with President Trump — from the preparation to the questions to the weather!

[VANITY FAIR @VanityFair]

'Meet the Press' moderator Kristen Welker went out to Wisconsin to interview the president. As the rain poured down on the barn where they sat, the stakes ratcheted up by the second until Trump lost his composure and stormed out.

In a “Meet the Press” interview, Trump doesn’t rule out giving Jan. 6 rioters who attacked police payouts from the “anti-weaponization” fund. https://t.co/KQllTOJcze

My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.
